Am i jealous? he thought, astonished. jealous of the chance object to which she has attached herself? jealous of something that does not concern me? one can be jealous of a love that has turned away, but not of that to which it has turned.

More From Erich Maria Remarque

So she had to satisfy herself with the idea of love - loving the loving of things whose existence she didn't care at all about. love itself became the object of her love. she loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for. it was not the world that was the great and saving lie, but her willingness to make it beautiful and fair, to live a once-removed life, in a world once-removed from the one in which everyone else seemed to exist.
Love Beautiful Lying
She wondered whether there would ever come an hour in her life when she didn't think of him -- didn't speak to him in her head, didn't relive every moment they'd been together, didn't long for his voice and his hands and his love. she had never dreamed of what it would feel like to love someone so much; of all the things that had astonished her in her adventures, that was what astonished her the most. she thought the tenderness it left in her heart was like a bruise that would never go away, but she would cherish it forever.
Heart Adventure Thinking
She looked at his young face, so full of concern and tenderness; and she remembered why she had run away from everyone else and sought solitude here. she yearned to kiss him, and she saw the answering longing in his eyes. every fiber of her body told her to throw herself into his arms, but she knew what she had to do. she wanted to say, i love you like a thunderstorm, like a lion, like a helpless rage; but instead she said: "i think i'm going to marry alfred.
Running Love You Eye
She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.
Smart Stupid Cat
She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. she was beautiful, for the way she thought. she was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. she was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. no, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. she was beautiful, deep down to her soul. she is beautiful.
Beauty Beautiful Girl
...fact was she knew more about them than she knew about herself, having never had the map to discover what she was like. could she sing? (was it nice to hear when she did?) was she pretty? was she a good friend? could she have been a loving mother? a faithful wife? have i got a sister and does she favor me? if my mother knew me would she like me?
